Hi All,
I'm sure I'm missing something but I've read the two technical documents regarding memory configuration in the Dell R710.
I've got a server that currently has 48GB in laid out as follows
A1 - 4GB
A4 - 4GB
A2 - 4GB
A5 - 4GB
A3 - 4GB
A6 - 4GB
(This is then the same on the B side)
According to the BIOS it's set to 'Optimized'
Now I have 2x16GB Sticks which I wanted to install, the only way I could get it working without the BIOS moaning was to install as follows:
A2 - 16GB
A5 - 4GB
A8 - 4GB
(Duplicated on B side)
Giving 72GB.
As I read the manual I should be able to mix memory sizes for 'optimized' as long as I go from A1 to A9 and so I have a further 6x4GB sticks left I want to install.
My logic is I can fill from A1 to A9, mixing the 16GB in, however when I try I get the error about A1/A2/A3 needing to be the same?
Am I missing something simple? I'm unable to make changes in the BIOS, the memory is all the same type (Purchased from Dell)
